The invention seeks to rising'from bearings 12 provided onthe botprovide a cupboard which may be disposed toms of cups orpans 13 which are secured in the corner of a room or compartment and tothe respective walls of theroomand 'may. which will be rotatably mounted so that any contain liquid orpowder, so that any insects 10 desired storage space within the cupboard which mayreach the pans willbe destroyed 60 may be brought within reach easily and and prevented from traveling along the. quickly. The invention also seeks to provide braces to, the post and thence findingzaocess means whereby the cupboard willbe normalto thecupboard. Itwill also be understood ly held stationary, and also to provide means that the-cup or pan 1 is intended tocontain Y 15 whereby access of ants and other insects to liquidor other insect destroyer, asindicated 65 the cupboard will be prevented.

The friction exerted upon the upper end of they central post or shaft by the split bearing will holdthe cupboard, normally against rotation but will -yieldreadily to slight force exerted on the cupboard, so that when it is desired to re move or insert an article, the cupboard may be readily turnedxto bring the desired com 'partment within reach. The cupboard is thoroughly braced so that its turning movement will be steady and-it cannot beshifted accidentally from itsproper position.
